Five injured, including three infants, in Queens daycare stabbing

Guy Reyes

All five victims were rushed to local hospitals in a critical but stable condition.

The three infants stabbed were girls ranging in three days to one month old.

The suspect, a 52-year-old woman employed at the center, was taken to a hospital after slashing her wrist, police said. One adult female had multiple stab wounds on the torso, while the adult male had stab wounds to the leg.

It was not immediately clear how many other children were at the center at the time of the assault.

Police said earlier that the suspect attacked two baby girls and a baby boy, leaving one of the girls in a serious condition. Nine babies were there during the attack, and the place had at least 11 cribs, the district attorney's office said. Prosecutors said they were aged 13 days, 22 days and 33 days. The man who was injured had a child at the day care while the woman was a daycare employee, according to NBC New York. The building was allegedly being used as an illegal "baby farm". A bloody kitchen knife and a meat cleaver were retrieved at the scene, according to Sophia Mason, a police spokeswoman.

The New York Post quoted an unidentified "high-ranking source" as saying that the home was also serving as a "citizenship mill".

State-regulated child care programs are prohibited from caring for infants younger than than 6 weeks old unless they receive prior approval from OCFS, the statement said.

It is unclear if the nursery was a legal child care facility, according to CBS New York.
